Presently, drives for Fully Electric Vehicles and Hybrid Electric Vehicles develop their highest efficiency of around 93–95% within a speed range of usually 1/4 to 1/3 of the maximum, and at an ideal torque, whereas in real-life driving cycles the motor operates at a wider range of speeds and at partial load, resulting in much lower efficiency.

32. Badminton-playing robot tests software designs of the future
The drive to decrease the ecological impact of production machines is leading manufactures to focus on novel ways to incorporate energy efficiency in the designing of new products.
One answer is the first-ever badminton playing robot - designed to test a software application that optimises energy efficiency in machine design.
The robot is the result of the ESTOMAD project ('Energy Software Tools for Sustainable Machine Design'), led by the Flanders' Mechatronics Technology Centre (FMTC) in Belgium.

33. Bryna Benhoff (US): What is needed to exit the crisis and help Europe's economy to grow?
There's no worse or better there's only different. And I can promise you that. In the US, there are so many different issues and class disparity and you see that people that are poor are becoming so much poorer. Now they are starting to become a social stygma. And unemployement is just as bad except they have no net to fall into. Now Europe have the safety net which brings a lot of people into. You know you don't have the motivating factors but I would say it is going to just..

35. Massive study closes in on cancers risk markers
Cancer research has taken a huge leap forward with scientists now able to identify more than 80 genetic markers found to increase the risk of breast, ovarian and prostate cancer.
The COGS international research initiative is believed to be the largest of its kind.
Although the results have been widely reported, the cross-border efforts behind this monumental initiative have not.

36. Research Headlines - Understanding cell behaviour to help treat major diseases
The ability to measure concentrations of oxygen inside living human cells is a key requirement to help advance our understanding and treatment of a range of serious medical conditions. These include ischaemic stroke (where the stroke is caused by a blockage in the artery, preventing sufficient oxygen from reaching the brain), neurodegenerative disorders, and cancer.

38. Success Stories - Innovative infrared testing device set to reduce aircraft development costs
To make modern aircraft ever lighter, faster and more fuel efficient, manufacturers are continually introducing new advanced materials, composites and super lightweight structures. Before using them on a plane, the integrity and performance of these materials have to be tested in a non-destructive way, to see how they would perform in the real-life pressure and temperature conditions of flight. Among the techniques aero-space testing facilities currently rely on are two important tests: one using laser beams and one using thermal imaging to see inside the material under stress and detect problems in structures caused by hidden defects.
